Atle Skalleberg's career so far has been a combination of being in the right place at the right time, smart decisions and perseverance.

After arriving in the U.S. from Norway, he eventually took a job at StudentUniverse, prepared to do anything in order to learn the basics of business and, just as importantly, secure a visa.

Within a few years, he was running the company - an online travel agency for youth and student travel - and setting it on a period of growth, an acquisition and its eventual sale to Flight Centre Group.

He is a strong believer in mentoring, being honest about what's possible and taking your time when it comes to finding the right partner (and acquirer).

He joins us at the latest guest on How I Got Here.

HIGH is a weekly show produced by PhocusWire and Mozio, aimed at getting the inside stories behind startups and innovation in travel and transportation.

It's hosted by PhocusWire's editor in chief, Kevin May, and Mozio co-founder and CEO David Litwak.

ClassCast Podcast Ep.027 features the president of the Gap Year Association and founder of EnRoute Consulting, Julia Rogers, sharing insights into gap years, student travel, improving the college experience, and more. Gap years have been growing in popularity for over a decade, but now with COVID-19 pandemic-related college closures, delayed openings, online classes, cancelled social events, and more, gap years are the trendiest (and perhaps most substantive) contingency plan available. Ms. Rogers' insights and advice offer both immense value and interesting perspectives on higher education. If you are interested in gap years, travel, alternate education paths, improving college performance, or great COVID-19 contingency plans, this episode is essential listening. 

This clip from ClassCast Podcast Ep.027 features gap year expert and president of the national Gap Year Association Julia Rogers explaining how gap years appeal to so many students (the same gap year "elevator pitch" included in Clip 027.1) AND how to defer enrollment to a university so that a gap year is possible without sacrificing admissions status (new -- NOT included in 027.1).  Students who are already admitted to a university but reconsidering fall matriculation MUST listen to this so that they understand their options and the process to start a gap year.

In this clip from ClassCast Podcast Ep.027, founder of EnRoute Consulting and gap year expert Julia Rogers talks with host Ryan Tibbens about how she got into the gap year industry, began her consulting/advising career, and what she hopes to accomplish.  She also shares her vision of the ideal college education -- a blend of free travel, community/humanitarian service, traditional classroom learning, and externships/apprenticeships. While her vision is ambitious, it is also laudable for its focus on developing the full person, not just a transcript or resume.

In this highlight clip from ClassCast Podcast Ep.027, president of the Gap Year Association and gap year expert Julia Rogers talks with host Ryan Tibbens about what kinds of college experiences students want, what they need, how COVID-19 might affect that experience, and why a gap year might be just what the doctor (and student advisor) ordered. Students in the Class of 2020 and 2021 face tough decisions about when and how to matriculate, and if their schools are closed, online only, or even open but with limited social and athletic activities, then contingency plans are necessary.  While a purposeful gap year should usually be treated as a primary option, in the current circumstance, gap year advisors are seeing huge increases in inquiries as students seek a post-high school experience that satisfies their goals and enriches their lives. This clip might help you to weigh the pros and cons. Remember to like, follow, share, and comment!
